Michael Phelps says he's "not in the best shape" for the upcoming European World Cup meet in Stockholm.

The Olympic great plans to use the competition to test his form and the old-style swimsuit that will become the standard next year. Phelps welcomed the ban on the high-tech bodysuits that helped rewrite swimming's record book the past two years. He says the suits "took away from the personal accomplishment."

Phelps will swim the 100-meter freestyle and backstroke plus the individual medley on Tuesday. He will also swim the 100 butterfly and 200 medley Wednesday.

Phelps broke Mark Spitz's record by winning eight gold medals at last year's Beijing Olympics.
